Abstract
The article aims to address the emancipatory character of self-translation on the example of CeliaDropkin’s (1887–1956) poetic texts – Potseluy and A kush [A Kiss]. It introduces the linguisticbiography of the poet, which is an important aspect of the origins of both texts, and focuseson how the female character is constructed in the poems, and on how they engage various traditionsof Russian and Yiddish literatures. The discussion of Dropkin’s diverse poetic strategies shedslight on the potential of self-translation as a translingual practice that allows the author to createa new/different poetic voice.
